pyside-skeleton

A simple example of how to get started with PySide using a UI file designed in Qt Designer. This is the easiest way to use Qt.

Core Code

The essential code is show below (and contained in example.py).

from PySide.QtGui import QWidget, QApplication
from PySide.QtUiTools import QUiLoader
from PySide.QtCore import QFile


def load_ui_widget(filename, parent):
    loader = QUiLoader()
    uifile = QFile(filename)
    uifile.open(QFile.ReadOnly)
    loader.load(uifile, parent)
    uifile.close()


class ExampleApplication(QApplication):
    def __init__(self, **kwargs):
        super(ExampleApplication, self).__init__([], **kwargs)

    def start(self):
        self.exec_()


class ExampleWidget(QWidget):
    def __init__(self, filepath):
        super(ExampleWidget, self).__init__()
        load_ui_widget("example.ui", parent=self)
        self.setWindowTitle("PySide Example")
        self.show()


if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = ExampleApplication()
    widget = ExampleWidget("example.ui")
    app.start()
